Comment 32 for bug 551949

i am now testing the combination:

 $ uname -a
Linux infrared 2.6.34-020634-generic #020634 SMP Mon May 17 19:27:49 UTC 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux

$ tail -n 1 /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf
options snd-hda-intel position_fix=1

and /etc/default/grub without >any< modifications:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"
Here i had before: rmi_watchdog=1 additionally

NOW it realy seems to work great (i will test it the next days and report the results)

In the syslog NOW *nothing* has trouble, *all* the alsa, pulseaudio-errors reported before are gone! (yes all;))
Now it just says: hda-intel: IRQ timing workaround is activated for card #0. Suggest a bigger bdl_pos_adj.

I think the watchdog was the reason for the trubble..

let me know if your config includes watchdog
